Megans new bike!!!

Megs is very excited, as this bike has gears (Which is a first for her). I am very proud of her achievements. We picked the bike up on Tuesday, and on Saturday, she rode with Sian and myself to Tuggers (about 10.2km return). Today, after church (Where I played flute again- cool), we both rode from home back to church for a cell group leaders meeting. (About 15km return.)

We are now aware of our legs and various other portions of our anatomy.

But it is fun.

Blue and Green must never be seen.

Being a male of the species, I operate under the simple color rule as mentioned above. "Blue and Green must never be seen". Well, you can imaging my concern when Catie pulled out a green shirt, and a blue tie.

Well, the only way of solving the problem is to go to the Internet. There was a helpful page on somebodys blog, but Cate dismissed that as being an unreliable source. Well, we all know that Wikipedia is the one true source for all things on the Internet, so I looked there. Hmmm There was no mention... Hmmm... I can fix that I thought, and within about 60 seconds, Wikipedia was improved to support my argument. Wo Hoo.

Here is the proof. Wow, my first Wikipedia article.

My First Ebay Experience - Yay!

You wont believe the last 2 days - On day 1 - I initially put the auction up with a buy it now clause - and within an hour, somebody decided to purchase it - Wo Hoo - Unfortunately, it was a Mary Smith, with an account created that morning, living in the USA - Well, I calculated the fedex shipping charge as $135 AUS, on top of the $500 they wanted to pay, and sent off an email. I get the following response -

Hi, I would like to pay for this item via Bank Transfer, you know

my address is in US,but right now i'm in Nigeria,i was sent there on a

Business Trip,and i want to give it to the Head of the Department as a

gift, so i will like to know if you can ship it to Nigeria,i dont mind

paying any amount for the shipping cost,pls if you can do this for me

i'll be very grateful.if you accept kindly send your full name and

account detials which am going to send it to.

Well, let me guess - An American, living in Nigeria, Just created an ebay account for dear little me - Gosh - Wow - I can't believe my luck - I just have to tell them my bank account details - << NOT >>

I sent them a response that indicated that I believed that they were Dirty Nigerian Scammers, and relisted the auction - In 7 days, ebay will refund me the $8.00 listing fee. - The relisting was without the buy it now option.

Next day, I discovered a bid - Yay - Looks like I might be selling the phone..

I also discovered a number of questions - All telling me that I can purchase similar crap from their ebay store. - Hmmm.

And finally, it looks like I am now receiving about 3 random text emails from russia every couple of hours. - I wonder what those are. Right now, I am using them to teach my spam filter what spam looks like

Yay!
